What is a Consent Order?
Consent orders are legally binding agreements approved by the Family Court of Australia, covering parenting arrangements, property settlements, and spousal maintenance. They are made by consent—meaning both parties agree—without the need to attend court. Once approved, consent orders carry the same legal weight as a court order made after a hearing.
Consent orders provide a cost-effective, enforceable, and final resolution to family law matters. Whether you’re dividing assets or formalising parenting arrangements, consent orders offer peace of mind that your agreement is legally recognised and enforceable.
Consent orders prepared by a Brisbane family fawyer can cover:
Parenting arrangements (where children live, time with each parent, holidays)
Property division (who keeps what assets or debts)
Spousal maintenance
Superannuation splitting
Child support (in some cases)
Initial Consultation
Your first step is a confidential meeting with a family lawyer to understand your rights, obligations, and options. We assess your situation and outline the best path forward for your financial or parenting matter.
Disclosure and Negotiation
Through the exchange of disclosure documents and negotiation, which may also include attending a mediation, we’ll provide you with the advice and guidance you need to arrive at an agreement that takes your unique needs into account.
Drafting
When agreement is reached, we’ll draft the application and orders for the parties to sign and then file them with the Court for review and approval.
Finalising
When the Court has made your orders we will provide you with clear advice on how to ensure compliance with the orders by both you and your former partner.
